It's really just... so great XD XD XD and it's OURS which makes it even better!
For flowers, I'm thinking vegetables in the back corner of the backyard and some low-maintenance perennials to fill in the gaps in the front... some combination of lilies, daisies, hydrangeas and hosta maybe? But with like wildflowers in front. I took some flower inspiration photos down at the shore today but I don't know a lot about gardening so I'm looking for advice. Full sun mostly, see photos below.
